Thread: Kontiki bait advice

Yes, trout is excellent bait. I used old frozen stuff from freezer when living near Waihi beach and it caught fish. The only hassle is the skin is ultra ultra tough. I used an Iki spike to make a hole from flesh side outwards, then put longline hook through the hole from skin side. Have also used carp flesh from the waikato swampy lakes and that worked well too.
